Simple Holiday Décor Ideas For Your Home

It may seem like a chore to decorate your home for the holidays. Especially if you have kids, it can be challenging to find the time or creativity to decorate your home. Fortunately, a few easy tips and touches can go a long way for your home's holiday décor. It doesn't have to be elaborate or complicated. Here are some home décor tips for the holidays.

Decorate Differently

Sometimes small touches can make the most significant impact. If you don't have the time or space to put up a tree, you can get creative, placing ornaments in other areas in your house. Try filling up a large bowl with glass or bright colored ornaments and leave them on a table for a lively splash of holiday cheer. If you have displays of collectible items in your home, try mixing in a few Christmas ornaments for some extra holiday spirit. To make things even more whimsical, try stringing some ornaments from curtain rods or stairway railings.

Add Sparkle

Christmas is often associated with silver and silvered glass. Try grouping silver and silvered glass items, such as candles, together on a decorative tray and placing them near a window to create a soft sparkle in the room come nightfall. Mix in some ornaments and pinecones for some visual interest, and be sure to mix in items of varying heights.

Use Nature

Greenery items, such as trees, wreaths, berries, and the classic mistletoe, are often associated with the holiday season. If you don't have the time to decorate a tree yourself, you can purchase trees beautifully pre-decorated to save yourself some time. No one will know the difference. You can also buy a pre-decorated wreath to place on your door to add a welcoming aura to your home's entrance.

Wrap some garlands or fake berries around light fixtures like chandeliers, banisters, mantels, and around windows. It's a quick touch that adds a lot of flair to your décor. You can twist some fairy lights and ornaments around them to create an extra Christmassy effect. Just be sure you are not creating a fire hazard.

Exterior Ideas

Attach some bells to your front door (silver bells, of course!) to create a welcoming atmosphere. Some green and red ribbons tied around poles and banisters will add some a touch of color. For the outdoors, get your kids involved and have them build a happy snowman near the front door to help welcome all your guests.

Decorating for the holidays doesn't have to be stressful or time-consuming. Follow these tips for a beautiful and simple holiday décor that your guests will love.
